By DTadmin · March 20, 2022 · Blog
Transportation of susceptible items like vegetables, fruits, seafood, and meat need to be done more carefully as when the temperature gets high so the best way is to use refrigerated transport that keeps goods at a steady, safe temperature from pickup to delivery. In Abu Dhabi, where summer heat is intense and many routes cover long distances between the city, Mussafah, Khalifa City, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, a standard truck simply cannot protect perishable cargo. This guide explains what to consider when hiring refrigerated transport in Abu Dhabi and how Dubai Truck can help.
Perishable food starts to deteriorate quickly once it warms up. Leafy vegetables wilt, fruit ripens too fast, and meat and seafood can become unsafe. In a closed, uncooled truck, the cargo area can become hotter than the air outside. Refrigerated transport solves this by combining an insulated body with an active cooling unit that holds a set temperature for the whole journey.
The benefits are straightforward:
The first decision is the temperature your goods need.
Chiller vehicles keep cargo cool, generally just above freezing. They are suitable for fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, eggs, juices, bakery products and flowers.
Freezer trucks hold sub-zero temperatures for frozen meat, poultry, fish, seafood, ice cream and frozen ready meals.
Our vehicles operate within a range of around -20°C to 5°C, and we set the unit to suit your cargo before loading.
Matching the vehicle to your load keeps costs down and makes handling easier.
If you are unsure, tell us roughly how many pallets or cartons you are moving and we will recommend a suitable size.
Refrigerated vehicles are designed to maintain temperature, not to rapidly cool warm goods. Make sure products are at the correct temperature before loading.
A delivery from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, or from the capital to Al Ain or the Western Region, takes time. Plan around delivery windows and avoid unnecessary waiting at the dock with doors open.
Cold air needs to circulate around the cargo. Avoid packing goods tightly against walls or blocking the refrigeration unit.
On multi-drop routes, each door opening lets in warm air. Experienced drivers plan the load order so each drop is quick.
